How to Make Peach and Apricot Shower Gel
Peach and apricot shower gel is a simple, natural alternative to expensive store-bought soaps and shower gels, and it works just as well as anything that can be found in a retail store. Using natural ingredients that can easily be found in any health food store or online through many specialty retailers, peach and apricot shower gel will also limit your exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals and additives found in many commercial shower gels. Homemade peach and apricot shower gel will keep for about one month from first use. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
To use, shake the bottle gently and put a small amount of the shower gel into your hands. Massage the shower gel into the skin with a loofah or wash cloth and rinse with warm water.
Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade skin or hair care products in an aluminum or copper container, as these metals tend to alter the final product negatively over time.
